Global folktales of empowered girls & individuation.

Liked the global nature of the stories. Offers insights into different cultures. The stories themselves are well-written, beautifully illustrated, suitable for elementary school age girls. These stories are not the kind of love and partnership stories I'd hoped for however. They do include nasty stepmothers and are more about the process of girls claiming their own power, identity and rite of passage. If read with that in mind, the stories are valuable. I'd like to see a complementary set of stories about love, partnership and healthy separation between mothers and daughters.
